After the wedding ceremony, Bettie and Lance stepped down from the stage and the banquet began. Sabrina said goodbye to Jennie and ended the video call.
Zandra had Jennie play in the living room. She made an excuse to get Kaleb to go upstairs and looked at him coldly. Tell me. Whats going on?
From Lances speech, Zandra could tell he loved Bettie deeply. She had assumed Lance was reserved and quiet. How was he so passionate now?
Havent you figured that out? Bettie was his girlfriend when he was in Zimbab. Hes been thinking about her ever since he came to Philade. Last year, he went to Mathias many times just to be with her.
Kaleb hadnt known about Bettie until Lance had been in Philade for two years.
Kaleb and Lance hadnt seen each other for years, the father and son not quite close. During a summer break, Lance traveled to Zimbab under the pretext of studying in other cities and waited outside a university in Violetholt for three days. He had finally caught sight of Bettie, the person he missed dearly, but didnt dared to approach her, and he had just left.
After returning to Philade, Lance acted like nothing happened, unaware that Kaleb knew all about his movements.
Zandra looked confused. If they made up, why didnt Lance bring her to meet us? Why keep us in the dark and have the wedding in Mathias?
Kaleb scoffed. Theyre not really back together. She had a grievance that he left without a word back then. How could they just make up? He only got to pretend to be her husband through some tricks.
Zandra was at a loss for words. So theyre a fake couple?
Yeah, there is no marriage certificate. The wedding is just for show.
No wonder she was so distant just now Zandra sighed and glared at Kaleb. I had told you not to push him so hard then.

Would he have come back if I didnt push?
Zandra thought further about the wedding and something still felt off.
Did he reveal his true identity yet? If not, the wedding wouldnt be convincing without her and Kaleb there.
He hadnt. Kaleb snorted. He didnt dare.
Why ?
Because Sabrina is the brides friend.
What do you mean? Zandra was puzzled. She hadnt met Sabrina but had heard her name often enough.
Keilani had issues with Sabrina, and to target Sabrina, she had others kidnapped Bettie. Bettie almost died, therefore, she despised Keilani and doesnt think much of Keilanis brother either.
Zandra was speechless for a moment and then continued. Is that why he had the police in Mathias arrest Keilani?
Yes,
Zandra was stunned. She frowned. Idiot! Since youd known about it, why didnt you stop him?
He wont listen to me now, and your brother is on his side. What can I do? We cant just take him back, Kaleb said to Zandra, feeling defeated.
